Can someone help me to connect my laptop windows xp to the internet? I
have a desktop windows xp connected to the Internet and i also have a
belkin router plus a netgear MA111 adapter, but i don't know what to do
with them, or how to connect the laptop to the internet. Can someone
please help me doing this step by step, as i am not very good with
computers?
Kind regards.
Ana.
 
Hi

Installing the wireless "netgear MA111 adapter":

Step 1: Insert your "netgear MA111 adapter" into your usb port of your laptop.

Step 2: Windows will automatically detect the device and display you a
screen saying " Welcome to the found new hardware wizard . . .".Insert the
cd that came with the netgear MA111 adapter" into your cdrom.Click Next and
in the next step click finish.

Installing your wireless router(assuming you have high speed internet
connection):

Switch off the desktop machine,router that your internet service provider
gave you(comcast or sbc or . . . ).Now remove the cable that is connected
to your desktop from the router and plug it in the WAN port on the back side
of your wireless router.
Now take another cable,plug one end of it into any of the available ports on
the router(Numbered 1,2,3 . .) and the other end into your desktop computer.

Now Switch on your router (that you got from your internet service provider
...),then switch on your wireless router.


Now connecting your laptop to your wireless network:

Switch on your laptop,Click start - >Control panel ->Network connections - >
Right click on the "Local area connection named Netgear wireless . . ." and
select view available networks.It will go to a new screen showing the
available networks,double click on BELKIN . .(some thing like that . . but
not sure of the exact name).It will prompt you this is a unsecure network do
you want to connect . .. click connect anyway.

*If every thing goes straight your wireless is setup(Not secure now).If you
can post the details of your belkin router model , i can help in setting the
security.

Post if you have any difficulties doing the above things . . ..

Hope it will help you . . .

Thank you
